Just as Chen Yu was about to faint, he saw the girl holding a brick in her hand and giving him a contemptuous smile.
His heart clenched, and he watched helplessly as the girl took the urn that had been placed on the altar...
She walked to his side, squatted down, and looked at him coldly: "Chen Yu, do you know that I've been watching you ever since I died? Every time you bring a woman back, I feel incredibly disgusted."
"I hate you. If there is an afterlife, I never want to meet you again."
These words struck Chen Yu like a hammer blow. His eyes widened in horror as he watched the girl walk to the window and jump without hesitation.
He reached out, trying to grab her, but the drowsiness overwhelmed him, and he could only helplessly close his eyes.
Nanzhi exchanged for medicine that would ensure she wouldn't get injured during the jump.
She stood up, protecting the urn as she walked out.
[Zhizhi, time's almost up. Leave the Chen residence quickly, or they'll find you.]
"Can't I exchange for the potion one more time?"
You can only redeem once a day.
Seeing that there were only ten minutes left on the countdown, Nan Zhi had no choice but to speed up.
But the Chen residence was too big and too dangerous.
There were even bodyguards patrolling the road.
"Hey, what are you carrying?"
Seeing that they had spotted her, Nanzhi quickly made her escape.
She ran very fast, and the bodyguards couldn't catch up.
Finally, as the countdown ended, she escaped from the Chen residence, and at the same time, her appearance returned to normal.
Nanzhi got into the car with the urn in her arms, and by the time the Chen family came after her, she had already fled.
...
Although Chen Zui had severed ties with the Chen family, he was still uneasy.
Chen Yu is a treacherous and ruthless person; no one knows what he might do.
Chen Zui felt very uneasy, so he decided not to act anymore and asked Brother Zhao to turn down many jobs.
He planned to take Nanzhi abroad after the wedding and find a place where no one knew them to live.
But before that, he must retrieve his mother's ashes and restore the freedom she desired in her lifetime.
Chen was most afraid that Nanzhi would be angry about his concealment, so he planned to tell her all the plans.
Before he could even speak, Nanzhi blindfolded him with a black cloth.
She whispered mysteriously in his ear, "Don't lift it, I want to give you a surprise."
Nan Zhi took his hand, and Chen trusted her completely, following her to a certain place.
"Three, two, "
The girl counted down in his ear.
"one."
Chen Zui couldn't help but feel a little hopeful, thinking that Nan Zhi was just giving him some surprises in his life, as usual.
But he never imagined that the moment the black cloth fell, he would see his mother's urn.
He remained frozen for a long time.
"Let's go take a look."
Nanzhi's urging voice came from behind.
Chen Zuicai walked over with difficulty and stiffly touched the photo of his mother on the box.
She smiled so brightly, as if she had never left.
But in her memory, most of her days were filled with such pain.
He saw her arguing with Chen Yu several times.
The mother broke down and questioned Chen Yu: "Since you no longer love me, why can't you let me and the child go?"
"Who says I don't love you?" Chen Yu sneered. "Ji Tang, I've been with so many women, but only you became Mrs. Chen. How could I not love you?"
"But you promised me that after we got married, you would never cheat on me again."
Chen Yu looked helpless. "Ji Tang, I live a life on the edge every day. There are many times when I have no choice. But don't worry, I have never loved them..."
"You can have sex even if you've never loved them, Chen Yu. Do you men separate your hearts and bodies?"
Tears streamed down Ji Tang's face. "I'll go on dates with a few men too. I'll experience what it's like to be forced into this situation. You'll taste this kind of pain too..."
Ji Tang was about to leave when Chen Yu pulled her back.
Chen Yu was very angry.
Ji Tang's words angered him.
He's so hypocritical, thinking that men can have countless women, but Ji Tang can only have him.
He locked her up, forcing her to learn to be obedient.
Ji Tang has indeed learned her lesson.
She stopped questioning Chen Yu's philandering and even thoughtfully made him late-night snacks after he returned from lingering with other women.
She simply stopped letting Chen Yu touch her.
She always made up an excuse to refuse.
At first, Chen Yu thought she was just being stubborn and didn't think much of it.
He thought that Ji Tang would get used to it over time.
He was unaware that her depression was getting worse.
In despair, he committed suicide by cutting his wrists.
"Chen Zui, do you know why your mother named you this?"
Ji Tang smiled, but her eyes were filled with sadness.
At first, Mom thought you were Mom and Dad's most precious baby, but it turns out you are only Mom's.
"From now on, you must keep yourself pure and upright, and you are not allowed to follow your father's example. You must not bully girls..."
The last thing he remembered was his mother constantly reminding him.
She then lied to him, saying she was going to take a shower, and had the nanny take him away, while she passed away alone with regret.
Even though it was something from a long time ago, Chen never expected that his memory of it would still be so clear.
Thankfully, she is finally free.
"Don't ask me anything." Nanzhi hugged him from behind. "Just know that you are free now and can happily marry me."
The question Chen instinctively wanted to ask remained unspoken. He wasn't surprised; he knew she had always been different.
However, he was still worried.
"Chen Yu is vindictive, I'm afraid he'll retaliate against you."
Nanzhi raised her little face and looked at him with a smug expression: "No, no one knows it was me."
Chen Zui gently rubbed her head, which eased some of his unease.
Chen Yu's side indeed failed to find out that it was Nanzhi.
That day, all the surveillance cameras inside the Chen residence were destroyed.
Everyone who saw Nanzhi mistook her for Ji Tang, and was so frightened that they thought she was a ghost, causing them great anxiety.
Unable to find the surveillance footage, Chen Yu gradually came to believe that he had met the real Ji Tang.
Thinking of Ji Tang, Chen Yu's thoughts became somewhat hazy; he had been having recurring dreams lately.
Ji Tang entered Chen Yu's world at the prime of her life. She feared and dreaded him, but he seized her by force and took her as his wife, vowing to love only him.
He treated her a thousand times better, and finally won her heart.
But after she fell in love with him, he felt that the challenge was gone.
He cheated on her with many other women.
He wanted to gradually make her submit to him.
Who would have thought she was so stubborn that she chose to commit suicide?
After her death, he believed that his lost love had been revived, and was even stronger than before.
For so many years, he refused to admit that he was the one who killed Ji Tang, so he continued to do as he pleased, even having sex with other women in front of Ji Tang's ashes...
He just wanted to annoy her, to let her know that he could live happily without her.
But Nan Zhi's words were like a thorn piercing his heart.
